I have this fixed now, I'll upload it soon, it's still hacky although,
it is done by killing one of the processes in the script ;)

you're right, but I couldn't figure how to doit the wavesurfer way
without modifying the pd source.
The paltypus way has its advantages:
* you can switch your pd version without recompiling (s long as it
works with your tcl/tk)
* you can do stuff in the startup script. The new version has a quite
cool feature: it scans directories recursively, so that you can install
externals, abstractons, libraries and help files via drag and drop :)
